Question

I am trying to send an email using codeigniter through JangoSMTP and for whatever reason the script takes about 60-70 seconds then gives me an error on the last portion of the process, the send.

Here is CI’s debug..

Testing the email class.*

Here is the simple code I am using to send in a sandbox controller..

   function smtp(){
        $this->load->library('email');

        $config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
        $config['smtp_host'] = 'relay.jangosmtp.net';
        $config['smtp_user'] = 'MYUSERNAME';
        $config['smtp_pass'] = 'MYPASS';

        $this->email->initialize($config);

        $this->email->from('[e-mail]', 'Ryan Thompson');
        $this->email->to('[e-mail]'); 

        $this->email->subject('Email Test SMTP');
        $this->email->message('Testing the email class.');  

        $this->email->send();

        echo $this->email->print_debugger();
    }

I tested this exact same thing with my regular email host and creds and it popped one off perfectly.

I don’t have any IP restrictions or From: restrictions at Jango. I am authing only as username/pass.

My CI Version is 2.0.0

I am at the end of my wits!! My Email.php class file is un-edited.

See here

The problem is likely due to the fact that CodeIgniter defaults to using LF as the line terminator, rather than CRLF required by RFC. Add this code:

$this->config['crlf'] = '\r\n';
$this->config['newline'] = '\r\n';
